AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).
Pkd2 is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum in spermatocytes. In mature sperm, it clusters at the tip of the sperm tail.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
Haploinsufficient locus (not associated with strong haplolethality or haplosterility).
Pkd2 mutant sperm remain capable of reverse motility but fail to display hyperactivation.
Localisation of Pkd2 at the distal end of the sperm tail is essential for proper function.
Pkd2 is haploid-insufficient for mediating optimal smooth muscle contractility.
Mutation causes male sterility. Normal amounts of motile sperm are produced by mutant males and transferred to females, but few sperm are stored.
Pkd2 is required for directional sperm movement inside the female reproductive tract and male fertility.
Pkd2 is required for male fertility and functions in the flagellum.
